I was a Captain at the time of the 'For God's Sake Care' Campaign and serving as the Assistant Financial Secretary in London UK on the Headquarters of the Men's Social Services in Middlesex Street ( known, on Sundays, to Londoners as Petticoat Lane) in London UK.
At that time General Arnold Brown was a Colonel. He was Appointed as Head of the Public Relations Department of International Headquarters. I was seconded to that Department to raise awareness of the need to up-grade our Hostels many of which were Old Whare-houses - Buildings that the 'Army had been using for many many years.
I was given a list of many Companies and Firms, Banks and Organisations in London and
was to make initial contact with each of them - explain the purpose of our Campaign and make an appointment to visit the respective Offices. Having secured such appointments - I physically visited the various Buildings and sought to obtain Donations to the Campaign - and where possible get the Organisations to grant that 'table-top' adverts be placed on the reception desks and public areas. You can imagine my caution when I received the List of about twenty Organisations allocated to me to contact, when in the middle the list I read - The Playboy Club, Park Lane. Convinced that it had been added as a practical jest - I went to Colonel Brown and laughingly showed him the List - Oh yes he replied - I really want you to make contact. Naturally, although somewhat nervously, I Phoned for an Appointment and after a few minutes it was arranged that I was to call at 5.00 pm to see Molly McLellar the ‘Bunny Mother’.
In full Uniform, I entered the Playboy Club - and found Miss McKellar to be a most interesting, helpful and amazing young woman. After describing the purpose of the Campaign and my reason for meeting with her - she said Captain Sawyer - I really do wish to help with this project - but - I am aware that the work and ideals of the Salvation Army and those of the Playboy Club are as far apart as it is possible to contemplate - and again the was a - But !! - If we can make the pendulum swing so that it comes to it rest in mid-way this idea can be managed’. I would like us to try!! Woww !! - I went back and reported the experience to Colonel Brown - who was delighted.
A busy three or four weeks followed - the Table Tents for donations were delivered - Miss Mc Kellar’s wish for the ‘Army to be helped opened up further conversations and the outcome was that the ‘The Joy Strings’ - visited the Playboy Club and played and sang the Gospel Message for three nights in one week between 10 pm and 3 am.
My wife and I were present for the three nights and as we left to drive home at 3.45 am on the first of the three nights - we prayed that God would use the witness and that practical benefit would also be the outcome - and then - just as we drove away - we saw - across the road - lying on a bench in the Hyde Park opposite - men sleeping under the stars - it seemed as though it was a seal on what we hoped for - that men would benefit from the events of the evening. The result was an amazing success and an incredible amount of money was raised towards the refurbishing and replacing of our Hostels. The money then raised in the sixties - would equate to millions today !!
Just a closing thought - I like to feel that maybe - just maybe - the men we saw sleeping rough on that - ‘Starry Night’ - may have, on a later night, found compassionate ‘welcome reception’ and the comfort of a warm bed in ‘Booth House’ or perhaps another ‘Army Hostel.
